The bad the ugly and the good and miracle performers of Bongo



Looking at EddieWhitehair Lo- Wash doling money out for whoever that approaches him, one’d see love of the rich to the poor. Again, is this love true or has something else? Since he’s forced out of power thanks to Richman Scam, Eddie’s become a very generous politician Bongo has ever had. He does not budge when it comes to dishing out millions. He loves churches even mosques. Ironically, such places are called the places of God! Which God between god money and God Almighty? Aren’t those dens manned by jackals and hyenas Jesus admonished us to be aware of? Mwl Mchonga added that we’d fear such crass putas like leprosy if we want to be safe. Again, who bothers? 
If you want to get Eddie’s dosh just come with the media guys and invite him to anything you deem fit. He surely will come and make you rich. More often than not, those who don’t know how the media operate have always been quick to accuse the media as part of this sellout. Nay guys; ours as media, is to cover events regardless the one making news is a devil or an angel. This is the bottom line. Again, this does not mean that Kanjanjas are not out there abusing and breaking all rules in the books.  Verily, they’re there selling themselves like twilight girls of Ohio and Kinondoni. Technically, we call this professional prostitution just like political prostitution the money has created recently.  
Back to Mr. Plutonic Eddie, when he rakes money out in his spin nobody bothers to ask if his money is legally or illegally gotten. The power that-be has always mollycoddled him and people have taken it seminally! Aren’t, this way, people blessing thuggery and corruption? Who care if at all money talks?  Baniani mbaya (literary bad banyan’s shoe is a cure). A dead donkey does not fear hyenas. You know who is a dead donkey and who hyenas are. What a systemic malady of corruption so to speak? Why don’t we have such courageous people especially men to take on the guy and tell him to his face that we need our Richmond money back? Are we such gullible and greedy in the first place? Miraculously, even Mr. Prezzo who has always made us believe he is there to fight corruption is silent!   
By and large, people know that this ‘generosity’ is temporal by nature. In a simple parlance, this game is known as kutumiana namely to fool each other. Again, blessed is the hand that giveth than the one that taketh. In future, someone will suffer such a humungous blow.  The equation is so simple.  Recipients will be made to pay dearly. What is evil is the fact that at this moment of truth, major victims will be our children.
Given that people have consented to being bribed and fooled with their own money, whose fallacy is this? Again, dudes, if you’ve blindly and pointlessly accepted this hanky panky generosity, don’t take it for granted. For, from now on to October 2015 it’ll exist. Thereafter, tell it to the birds. If he gives you any coin come jeer at me and call me a liar.  Ironically, since some smart guys invented Uhujumaa na Kujimegea (kleptocracy and Selfishness) to replace Socialism and Self-reliance under Zenj Declaration, all opportunists decided to seek power. Those who still remember and adore Arusha Declaration must commit suttee or hara-kiri.  
Things have changed tremendously. We used to get good leaders based on principles, ethics, vision, handwork and what it takes. Currently, money, dirty money, has taken over all those good virtues. Yeah. Show me just one leader who did not buy his way to power today. Not in this deadly venal hunk of ours. Anybody can become president, bishop even sheikh. For those who aspire to become president just like Eddie, it is simple. Grab money from anybody and spend that money on buying political loyalty. This way anybody can become president. Thus, never wonder when you hear guys like Andy Chenge or mzee wa vijidosh wants to become one. Everybody likes to become president especially at this punkish and thieving era. The zinger is under such rotten atmosphere after becoming president you can steal as much as you deem fit to reimburse yourself the money you spent on getting votes. Nobody will put you to task given that all you are manning are conspirators thus thieves by consent. This is where the root of zilch accountability and performance for many afro-president lie. You can become as Mobutu as you like and nothing will happen to you. You know what? Whoever that will try to lay you bare will be hated and persecuted. Have you forgotten how Jesus was treated while a thief Barabbas was adored?    And don’t buy a pig in the poke. Who’ll douse this fire?

Nobody. You'd think 'resigning' in disgrace would be enough to keep a crook under the radar and his dirty money off the table. Hardly! And don't expect his partner in crime, (our dear old President) to do anything about, either. There is honor among thieves after all, isn't there?

Ooops, meant to say "do anything about it either." I should really work on my proofreading!

Thanks Jaribu. It is Okay. Writing is always like that. I too oft suffer the same.
